On the eve of her new album, Under Rug Swept, ALANIS MORISSETTE is happy to talk about her work, her love life and her passion for all things artistic. ON: her fear of intimacy, the men that keep reappearing in her life, wanting to tour even more after September 11 to show support, her love of Japan, her role in Sex & the City, being described as a 'nice Courtney Love'. "My biggest fear is the grief that I feel when loss has happened - whether it' s death or moving or breakups or whatever. That's my biggest fear." 5510 w, Q&A.

SEVENDUST - The band's new album Animosity was released about three weeks ago in the States, and they also have a brand new DVD with concert performances, videos and behind-the-scenes footage. They are touring extensively in support of both projects. Interviews available with Lajon Witherspoon as well as other band members upon request.

DANZIG - Glenn Danzig is in the studio recording material for a new album, slated for release next year. The punk and metal icon will also hit the road to promote the album. GODHEAD - Marilyn Manson's proteges continue to tour in support of their PostHuman records debut, 2000 Years of Human Error. They have garnered considerable attention for their unique sound and frontman Jason Miller's remarkable vocals.

ZAKK WYLDE - Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist since the age of 19, Zakk Wylde is now on tour in the states with the Merry Mayhem tour, which Ozzy and Rob Zombie are co-headlining. Zakk will then take his own band on the road both here and abroad to promote their new album, which debuts in mid-February. He will continue to play with Ozzy, though, on next year's festival outing, Ozfest.

CHEMICAL BROTHERS (Come with Us) 1190 w, nar. ON: Getting thrown off Ibiza, the influence of Outkast's 'Stankonia' on the new album, collaborating with Richard Ashcroft and Beth Orton, naming a song Denmark to annoy the Swedish. "It's quite difficult to think of names for instrumental music. 'Denmark', to me, has something right about it. I went to Denmark as a young child, my mum has friends there. I remember rowing across a huge lake and picking up jellyfish and throwing them at each other. And eating sausages."

ORBITAL (the Impact of the Sept 11th attacks) 1200 w, nar. ON: the powers that be, in their infinite wisdom, censoring what the public is allowed to hear or see at this time. "It's very hard to shock nowadays within society. I think that's why piercings have gone so mental. All I had to do in my time was to wear a pair of drainpipe trousers, a few rips and a few safety pins and I was singled out."

At a time when the British hip-hop scene is again witnessing extreme violence. MC Harvey of SO SOLID CREW discovers how the problem is affecting the UK garage scene. "We don't promote violence and we don't accept it, it's just how the newspapers portray us." 1190 w, nar.

He's jammed with Bob Dylan, partied with Keith Moon, sued the Byrds, traded spiky tops with Rod Stewart, had close encounters with Presleys Reg and Elvis and played "name that key" with John Lee Hooker, but arguably the best moment in his life was when he was named small breeder of the year. RON WOOD, the man who would be the Queen Mum of rock 'n' roll, tells a mean tale., 3830 w, Q&A.
